Trenner & Friedl Sun

Thanks mspot, that is very helpful. I heard the speakers at a dealer with two different amps, a Heed Elixer ( which is often demoed with these speakers) and a Leben 600. The pairing with the Heed was shockingly good but the Leben just didn’t work. I was about 8 feet away in a small listening room. My listening position will be about 6 feet away in a small room with very good acoustics. I would like for the Suns to work because the small form factor is perfect. Even Harbeth P3’s would be a little big but would work wonderfully. I will try to demo them but they are hard to get. Doesn’t look like many on the forum have these since there are not many responses

Funny that you would mention Harbeth P3's, because they were what I ended up choosing. I listen mostly to classical music, and Harbeth is excellent at realistic reproduction of unamplified acoustic instruments and voice.

I listen 4 feet away from speakers on my nearfield desktop system. With the Suns, I wanted to turn the volume up for better sound and listen from farther away. I loved the tiny size and clean design and really wanted it to work, but at close range it was louder than I want for music listening. The P3 does well playing low volume at close range.

I have the P’3’s in another room nearfield and I agree they are amazing with acoustic music and voice. The room I am setting up now requires the smallest form factor I can manage so the Sun’s would be perfect. This room is isolated so I can play them louder, but I really would love to hear opinions from people who have had them for a while. Listening at the dealer is not the same as long term listening and home audition may be difficult. Anyone out there have them who can give some opinions?

I was lucky because the Trenner & Friedl dealer in my area works out of his home and brings gear to the customer's location for audition. As I suggested before, contact the distributor and ask about options for auditioning.
